Battle of Stäket 1719
Dear viewers. The other day I remembered that sometime a long time ago, I posted the Battle of Stäket video on UA-cam. I can't remember the thinking behind putting it there, maybe someone wanted all involved associates to see it. Anyway, imagine my surprise when it had almost 300K views. And as I'm writing this, it has reached 355K.
The film was produced by Christian Arnet and Svea Television, commissioned by the battle field museum 'Hamn' (that's 'harbour' in Swedish). It is projected on to an almost 180° screen in a circular room by three overlapping projectors, and the idea was to let the audience have some small feeling for what it might have been like to take part in the Battle of Staket 1719.
The battle field museum is located in the Stockholm archipelago, almost exactly one nautical mile from where the fighting took place and as for the actual events during those days in July of 1719, a good place to start if you want to find out more is the Wikipedia article (if you can't visit the museum in Fisksätra yourself of course).
I will only mention that this is the closest any Russian force ever got to the Swedish capitol, and it is doubtful whether they actually wanted to push for Stockholm, had they won the battle. The events at Stäket was part of an operation more designed to force the peace negotiations between Sweden and Russia in Russian favour, rather than actually being an invasion.
The action scenes were shot during one day in June 2013. I used a Canon 5DMkII on a shoulder rig and (as I recall) mainly three lenses, the Canon 24-105, a Sigma 300 and a Sigma fisheye. Post production was done in fcpx, Motion, and I also made some use of blender 3D, I think. Live pyrotechnics by Bo Knarrström and props by Uniform Collection - that is, all garment and utensils that wasn't supplied by the reenactors themselves.
Thank you all for watching, commenting and subscribing!

    Well done, excellent creative decisions. I just don't understand why they were defending from the low ground.

    In reality, a close quarter skirmish like that wouldn’t devolve into both sides standing and exchanging close range volleys, the Russians would have got close, unleashed 1 or 2 volleys, then charged with bayonet and go into close combat, they’d probably have smaller units attempting to flank too. It is still a really good scene, but exchanging volleys with an enemy that is entrenched and you’re in the open wouldn’t happen for long, in such circumstances closing the distance was the usual method.

    Nice work. There was a battle at Staket in 1719. Okay. Great. It'd be nice to know who the combatants were and where Staket is. Why not include who where when and why in the description and not leave people to go out and search for it? Not everyone in the world is familiar with every other group's history and combat.

    This footage was either made by or given to the HAMN battle museum in Stockholm. It is a small museum dedicated to this exact battle and the archeological artifacts found there. It’s a pretty cool museum to see

    Хорошее видео, почти реалистичное. Хотя на мой взгляд как-то близко вели огонь противники. Не приятно, что изобразили русских этакими мародерами, да и хрен с ним.

    What idiot excuse for a line officer entrenches his men in the low point of a valley? Ya great spot here, we can shoot uphill, and catch the grenades as they roll down. Anyone who says this was good has never served in the infantry.

    • @rhysnichols8608

      The point was to draw the Russians into an ambush, the initial skirmish and feigned retreat drew them to the top of the hill, then whilst they were silhouetted against the top the swedes could unleash close range volleys. But it wasn’t executed well, and given the terrain it would have worked better if the swedes just lay down behind the reverse slope, and fired on the Russians at point black as they were approaching the crest of the hill.

    Почитал комментарии шведов, как же вас бомбит от того, что проиграли северную войну. Только у меня один к вам вопрос, какого лешего вы полезли воевать с Россией? Что вы делали под Полтавой? Это не ваша земля, так что не нойте. Империя у них была, вам до империи, как до Луны. Финляндию видите ли у них отобрали, так это следствие того что вы оккупировали русские земли в 16-17 веке.

    Oh, this was quite good! I rarely like videos but this gets one. I like how it's mostly first person but not overly much and shows things from one side, it's gritty and realistic, the trepidation, the defense, the assault, the regroup, the ending, the beginning. Really solid stuff. Now as usual, time to go wikipedia the battle :p

      It was actually illegal, but it happened, like this woman: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_J%C3%B6ransdotter It existed female warriors in Sweden or rather what would become Sweden, before Christianity, though, which is mentioned in the article.
